Jalin Turner showed that Kauê Fernandes was not ready to face him at UFC 330. At the event held this Saturday (15), in Philadelphia (USA), the giant American, 1,90m tall, impressed in the octagon and needed only 39 seconds to knock out the Brazilian. As could not be otherwise, 'The Tarantula' won one of the 'Performance of the Night' bonuses.
The organization announced the prizes shortly after the event. Therefore, Turner took home a check for $100 (approximately R$ 522 at the current exchange rate). Inside the octagon, there was no fight. Much bigger, faster, and more powerful, the American showed he also has technique and took advantage of a mistake by Kauê, who threw a spinning elbow that missed. By landing a clean punch on the Brazilian, 'The Tarantula' finished the job by taking him down.
